Could I Possibly Have A Sleeping Disorder? How Much For A Sleep Lab?
Posted by: Alan in Sleep Disorder, tags: Could, Disorder, Have, Much..., Possibly, Sleep, Sleeping
I know that there are lots of people who have sleeping disorders in this world and I am starting to think that I am one of them.
For one, my dad is narcoleptic. I’m positive that I am not though because my problem is opposite.
It doesn’t matter how much sleep I have gotten the day before I cannot fall asleep until around 4 a.m. except every other week I fall asleep around 8:30 or 9, but then I WAKE UP at 4 a.m. I don’t understand what is wrong with me.
I’ve been doing this sort of thing since probably around 8th grade and now I’m a sophomore in college. It’s just recently like last semester and this semester that it’s gotten so bad that sometimes I’m like, “I might as well not even sleep tonight at all.”
So in short. I can’t sleep till 4 am (and could sleep through an earthquake) or I wake up at 4 am (but only once every other week) or I skip sleep altogether with no problem.
I am just really worried about my health and this is just getting out of hand..
Also how much is it to get a sleep test done?

I’m sure you have a sleeping disorder. I’m not a doctor, so I’m not going to try to diagnose you, but I left a wikipedia link of an article about sleeping disorders.

Before you consider a clinic, I would just go see the family physician. I used to have the same problem, but my doctor just told me to take melatonin.

You don’t need a prescription, but I wouldn’t recommend taking it with out talking to your doctor.
Good Luck!
